A little challenge for my artists this holiday

10/04/2025

When the day is far too beautiful to warrant being indoors! Comprehension, cleverly disguised as a scavenger hunt, is the best option…

17 degrees. Clear blue skies. It seems a crime to have English lessons indoors this afternoon. So a comprehension exercise, cleverly disguised as a scavenger hunt, is the best solution!

🚀 Introducing “Scratch Cats”! 🖥️🐱

1 teacher. 12 students. 13 computers. One exciting journey into coding!

Using resources developed by MIT, the new Scratch Cats workshop is designed for young learners to explore the world of coding in a fun and simplified way. Meeting once a week, students will dive into the basics of programming, create animations, and—if all goes well—develop their very first video games!

Stay tuned for updates on their creative coding adventures!

🎉 That’s a wrap on our STEAM Club! Our young innovators spent their final day building domino and marble tracks and then, after a final hot chocolate and mini marshmallow fueled break, testing their logic, reasoning, and math skills in a toy factory-themed escape game. It’s been a joy working with these students outside the usual classroom setting—so much creativity and curiosity in action!

Now, onto the next adventure… planning my April holiday club all about digital art! 🎨✨ Stay tuned!
